Firmly press brake pedal using left foot while simultaneously flooring gas pedal.
RPMS will stabilize at 2400 approximately. When you want to launch, lift foot off brake keeping gas pedal floored.

Use Track mode with T/C off for best results.

As stated earlier, I would not use this procedure. For optimal
results, just stage and floor gas on last yellow.

The 11.7 isn't what is impressive.

It's the 120mph that catches my eye.

That is low-11 second territory right there.

I had a Buick Grand National a few years ago that ran 10.90's @ 121mph on a set of slicks.

120 is a good trap speed for an A6.....it pulls hard.

JRWood, I have a question. Did you reduce your rear stock tire pressure? That's an excellent time but I agree with Snorman that it seems flashing the trans will give you an even better run. Keep us posted.
